  The SAP error message /CFG/DSY_DS097 indicates that a text table associated with a specific table does not exist in the system. This error typically arises in the context of data dictionary objects, particularly when dealing with text tables that are supposed to provide descriptions or additional information for the main data tables.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Text Table: The text table that is supposed to provide descriptions for the main table is not defined in the system.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be a configuration issue where the text table is incorrectly assigned or referenced.
  Transport Issues: If the table was recently transported from another system, the transport might not have included the text table.
  Development Errors: If the table was created in a development environment, the text table may not have been created or activated properly.

  Check Table Existence: Verify if the text table exists in the system. You can do this by using transaction SE11 (Data Dictionary) and checking for the specified text table.
  Create the Text Table: If the text table does not exist, you may need to create it. This involves defining the table structure and ensuring it has the necessary fields (usually a key field and a language field).

  Transport Request: If the issue arose after a transport, ensure that the transport request included all necessary objects, including the text table. If not, you may need to re-transport the missing objects.
  Check Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to view or create the text table.
